Aug-29-04  wall: Maybe better is 29.Bd5 instead of trading the rooks. I guess it is a draw after 41.Bxh5 Kc5 42.Be2 Kb4, now White must find 43.Rxb2+! Bxb2 44.Kxd2 and another endgame with bishops of opposite color.

Jul-03-09  reztap: Cleveland native who was in the Army when this tournement was held. Played Pitschak in the seventies on the black side of an English. LOST. Was a high Class A at that time. Now I am probably a B. Don't compete anymore but still enjoy the game.
Jul-03-09  vonKrolock: Good escape by young RJF...Pitschak was really a hard <Bohemian Nut> to crack

<reztap> Could You perhaps upload that game here in cg.com? Surelly it would be a valuable contribution
